Did you know that my Bloom prenatal yoga classes combine therapeutic movement designed for all trimesters with birth education and insight for pregnancy, birth and mothering?!

As a pregnant mother I found there was an incredible lack of information and learning from other women in my own pregnancies and it’s one of the reasons I became a specialist Prenatal yoga teacher 16 years ago!

Here’s some of what you can learn in my classes:
🌙 Build strength to relieve back and hip pain
🌙 Prenatal anatomy and why it matters!
🌙 Learn mental resilience and mindfulness for all kinds of birth
🌙 Asana to optimise space for baby in pregnancy + birth
🌙 Prenatal and postnatal safe core and pelvic floor
🌙 Connect with a community of other mothers

Classes are 60 minutes
All equipment provided
Personalised prenatal care
Plus home practices for missed classes

My next series starts Monday, book your spot here: www.bloomyoga.com.au

🤰🏽The reasons why a pregnancy yoga class is ideal for supporting you during each trimester is because we focus on:

🦵Creating not just space, but also the strength + stability the pelvis requires from other muscle groups to minimise pain and maintain mobility as your baby grows

🧠We integrate mindfulness techniques through asana postures to help prepare for the inevitable challenges that arise through labour, birth and mothering ~ regardless of how your baby is born!

🫶Prenatal yoga is not just about movement - it’s an opportunity to create community and become educated about your pregnancy and birth from mothers who have firsthand knowledge and specialist training.

🥇Bloom Yoga’s pregnancy yoga classes have been supporting women through yoga since 2009, we continue to be recommended by mothers, midwives, doulas and fellow yoga teachers which is why our classes continue to book full.

Be still my uterus 🫶

they told us s***m race to the egg
like the fastest one wins.

but science says something else.
the egg chooses.

she releases tiny chemical signals chemoattractants
that guide the right s***m to her.
not the strongest.
not the fastest.
the one that fits.

so even before you held your baby,
even before you saw their face…
your body was already choosing them.

how beautiful is that?🥺

Have you considered options to birth your baby? Other than being on your back?

🌟 Why Pushing on Your Back Hurts More 🌟

By full term, the whole “package” of pregnancy, like the uterus, baby, placenta, and amniotic fluid is surprisingly heavy. Here’s the breakdown:

📊 Average Weights at Term (around 40 weeks)
• 👶 Baby: ~7–8 lbs (3.2–3.6 kg) on average
• 🌸 Placenta: ~1.5 lbs (0.7 kg)
• 💧 Amniotic fluid: ~2 lbs (0.9 kg)
• 🫀 Uterus itself: ~2 lbs (0.9 kg) (it starts at just ~2 ounces pre-pregnancy!)
• 🩸 Extra blood & fluids within uterus area: ~2–3 lbs

➡️ Total weight carried in and by the uterus: ~13–16 lbs

When a parent is asked to push in a flat or semi-reclined position, here’s what’s really happening ⤵️

💥 Pressure on the Sacrum
➡️ The sacrum (tailbone area) is meant to move backward during birth, giving the baby more room.
➡️ Lying flat pins it against the bed, narrowing the outlet and adding painful pressure to the lower back.

💥 Circulation Gets Compromised
➡️ The heavy uterus presses on the vena cava (a major vein), which can reduce blood flow.
➡️ This may cause dizziness, nausea, or even dips in baby’s heart rate.

💥 Less Help from Gravity
➡️ On your back, you’re pushing uphill.
➡️ In upright or forward positions, gravity works WITH you, not against you.

✨ Better Options ✨
✅ Side-lying 🤰
✅ Hands & knees 🙌
✅ Squatting 🧎‍♀️
✅ Kneeling forward 🧘

These positions:
🌈 Free the sacrum
🌈 Take pressure off the back
🌈 Improve blood flow
🌈 Often make pushing more instinctive and effective

💡 Birth isn’t meant to be forced flat on your back. Movement + gravity + choice = more space, less pain, safer birth 💪👶💖

If you feel good on your back then that’s ok, too! But this should not be the default from your providers or forced!

When asked about planning birth, I’ll often hear women say something along the lines of ‘going with the flow’ ~ and although it’s important to be open to the unexpected elements of labour and birth, this approach can be problematic…

Here’s why…
Learning the art of surrender – is not at all the same as being OPEN or going with the flow. Understanding that surrender has NOTHING to do with giving up or handing over your power and EVERYTHING to do with leaning in.

With so many parallels between yoga and birth, this workshop will help you and your birth partner navigate the waves of birth from a practical and philosophical perspective ✨

🤰🏽 Although our period pauses while we grow our babies in our womb, there is still an undercurrent of our cyclical nature during pregnancy, birth and postpartum ~ the ebb and flow.

⭕️ Cycles are an important honouring of endings and new beginnings - are there are many taking place as we expand physically and emotionally throughout this time.

🌑 In the final class of my pregnancy series we honour the feminine energy of the Leo new moon, embracing stillness, darkness and new beginnings with a sequence of prenatal yin postures…plus some Lions breath 🦁

Flow with me for your pregnancy!
There’s just TWO spaces left for my next prenatal series starting 4 August available in person or via livestream
